"The ball can go anywhere. Last night it went through a pub, in the front door and out the back.
"There's an honour to playing this game. People train from Christmas to get ready. It's the heritage of Derbyshire. We have to fight all the time to keep it going.
"It makes you proud to be British."

i just saw a comedian bemoaning the phenomenon of sportsmen always ranking their accomplishments second behind the birth of their children, so i especially enjoyed the guy who goaled saying "It's the best day of my life. I've got two kids and it's as good as that."
